      Question

      The ratio of age of β€˜M’ 8 years ago to the age of

      β€˜N’ 2 years hence from now is 1 : 2. If the sum of their present ages is 50 years, then find the age of β€˜N’ 4 years hence from now.
      A 30 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 32 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 34 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 36 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present ages of β€˜M’ and β€˜N’ be β€˜p’ years and β€˜q’ years respectively. Then,
      p + q = 50 Or,
      q = 50 βˆ’ p ATQ, [{(p - 8)}/{(q + 2)} = {1/2}] Or, 2(p βˆ’ 8) = q + 2 Or, 2p βˆ’ 16 = q + 2 Or, 2p βˆ’ q = 18 Or, 2p βˆ’ (50 βˆ’ p) = 18 Or, 3p = 68 Or, p = 24 Or, q = 50 βˆ’ 24 = 26 Therefore, age of β€˜N’ 4 years hence from now = 26 + 4 = 30 years
